Akira Watanabe (渡辺 明,   Watanabe Akira), nicknamed Mr. Nabe (ナベさん,   Nabe-san), was a Japanese special effects art director who worked frequently on Toho's tokusatsu films during the Showa era. He is notable for approving and finalizing the designs of popular monsters such as King Ghidorah, Baragon, and Godzilla himself. Watanabe worked for Shochiku beginning in 1929, but transferred to Toho in 1941 at the recommendation of Eiji Tsuburaya, working on his first film with the company the following year. He departed from Toho in 1966 after serving as Tsuburaya's art director on Invasion of Astro-Monster. He co-founded Japanese Special Effects Productions, later renamed Japanese Special Effects Film Co., Ltd, with which he directed the special effects for Nikkatsu's sole Showa kaiju movie Gappa, and the Japanese-American co-production The Green Slime.
